Video Connection The video (input) connector in use is either a BNC male Picture 2.
HOW TO CONFIGURE THE IND1x1 MPEG-2 DECODER General This chapter tells how with help of the Commander software you can confi gure the settings of IND1x1 Decoder and introduce the functions of the Confi guration Displays. The Confi guration Displays are a part of the Commander software application.
Establishing a Data Connection 1. Connect a DVX021 connection cable between the COM port of your PC and the Control Bus connector of the IND1x1 unit. 2. Install the Commander and Viewer softwares by running autorun.exe (if installation doesn’t start automatically). The following window appears on the screen (picture 4).
Starting CATVisor Commander After installing the softwares launch Commander. When the program has started the following “Untitled Commander” window appears on the screen (picture 6). Picture 6. Commander’s main view. Commander is now running, but not yet communicating with IND1x1. Create the connection to the IND1x1 by choosing --> File/New or Connection/Add New commands from the pull- down menus.
